Tyler Zeller adjusting to pace of game
Tyler Zeller - C - Cleveland Cavaliers
Jan. 4, 2013 - 9:20 AM ET
The Cavs coaching staff wants Tyler Zeller to stop playing at "a million miles an hour" at times.
In other words, the game hasn't "slowed down" for the rookie, who has been tossed into the fire with Anderson Varejao's knee injury. To his credit, Zeller is averaging 11. points, 7.0 rebounds, 0.6 steals and 1.0 blocks as a starter, but he's shooting just 41.7 percent from the floor and routinely gets outmuscled by bigger opponents. He'll continue to start while Varejao is sidelined.
